Luciana is pretty. I used to have it on my list but I think my favorite -ana name is Emiliana right now.

Very long, and too complicated for daily use. Anyway, I'd much rather use Lucy than any of its longer forms. OK, I named a kitten Lucinda once, but she was always Cindy.

It's fine. I don't find it very exciting as it combines common sounds and seems kind of bland between all the girls names Lucy, Anna, Lucia, Liliana, Eliana, Ariana etc. It's not a name that sticks out to me. I personally prefer the Italian pronunciation and then it sticks out a bit more (at least outside of Italy) but I think that pronunciation would be hard to enfore in an English speaking country. I don't know if this matters to you but as far as I know Luciana is quite dated in Italy and hardly used anymore, a typical name for women around 50-60 and not really quite ready for a comeback. I think it's a perfectly fine, usable name but I much prefer Lucy.

I think it's a beautiful name, I just don't feel natural saying it to be able to use it myself. I love Lucy tho! And love the way Luciana looks!
If you love it, go for it!
